John Deere 317 project!

Okay, got some 10w30, fuel line and clamps this afternoon, getting pi$$ed because the coil STILL hasnt come yet!!! Hopefully by next week I'll have her runnin!! Need to get some trans oil and trans filter....

Today, the coil still hasnt shown up!!! Took the small piece of line from the pump to the carb off, and had a heck of a time getting the hose pieces off the fittings. One of them wouldnt come off, even with WD40. luckily, I'll have enough line left over to use. I will have to get 3 more clamps aswell. So, i then zip tied the main line to the angled piece by the rear axle where the fuel line hole is, and got new bolts,etc for the latch on the hood and a couple other pieces. Put my 8 ball valve stem caps on the back tires. hahaha also, took the shut off valve off of the tank, and the strainer was actually pretty clean. I think I should just by a new one of those. Hopefully i will own the tractor tomorrow!!!!!!! Im going to offer 100$ for the tractor, deck, and other acc. Including his 80 cart. Not sure about that because he still uses it, my dad had to lengthrn the tounge on it to reach past the 3 pt hitch on my grandfathers 2210.

My aunt is going to get me a shut off valve from our old JD dealer in town that isnow Bobcat, and see if she can get another coil, and next day ship it.
Also, might buy it tomorrow!!!

Good call on buying the tractor. I think you'll be happy with it.

Oh yeah, Im pretty happy!! The coil will hopefully get here on monday, heres what I did today, washed the inside of the tank, and the fenders, put the battery tray back in with the battery. And also checked the muffler.

 

[Brockwaykid]

Well this coil i guess aint coming either. I think were just gonna order one from our local dealer. Got the fuel lines all set today, washed the fenders and started to sand them, goin right to bare metal. Got the shutoff valve in the tank. Also cut a piece of old mudflap to put under the battery.heres the pics!!

Thanks!! I really have nothing else to do afterschool, so any freetime i have goes into this. Also, the two front holes the seat springs mount to, are cracked. I wont bother with them, for what im going to do with it when ts done. Hahaha Hopefully, I'll be running the sander on those from 3-5 tomorrow night, or all this week. Yay!! :/
